.
If the chains contact the
vehicle, stop and re-tighten
them. If the contact
continues, slow down until it
stops. Driving too fast or
spinning the wheels with
chains on will damage the
vehicle.
.
Chains must not be fitted to
a compact / temporary
spare tyre.
.
Check the tyres are inflated
to the correct pressure. See
When using tyre chains the Traction
Control System (TCS) and
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system may engage. Only disable
the TCS and ESC if it is safe to do
so. See
If a Tyre Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tyre to blow out
while driving, especially if the tyres
are maintained properly. See
. If air goes out of a tyre, it is
much more likely to leak out slowly.
But if there ever is a blowout, here
are a few tips about what to expect
and what to do:
If a front tyre fails, the flat tyre
creates a drag that pulls the vehicle
toward that side. Take your foot off
the accelerator pedal and grip the
steering wheel firmly. Steer to
maintain lane position, and then
gently brake to a stop, well off the
road, if possible.
A rear blowout, particularly on a
curve, acts much like a skid and
may require the same correction as
used in a skid. Stop pressing the
accelerator pedal and steer to
straighten the vehicle. It may be
very bumpy and noisy. Gently brake
to a stop, well off the road,
if possible.

Warning
Driving on a flat tyre will cause
permanent damage to the tyre.
Re-inflating a tyre after it has
been driven on while severely
underinflated or flat may cause a
blowout and a serious crash.
Never attempt to re-inflate a tyre
that has been driven on while
severely underinflated or flat.
Have your dealer or an authorised
tyre service centre repair or
replace the flat tyre as soon as
possible.

Warning
Lifting a vehicle and getting under
it to do maintenance or repairs is
dangerous without the
appropriate safety equipment and
training. If a jack is provided with
the vehicle, it is designed only for
changing a flat tyre. If it is used
